At Solmar Villas, we're passionate about creating fantastic villa holidays and delivering exceptional customer experiences from the moment our guests book until they return home.
With over 30 years of expertise, 3,000 handpicked villas across more than 30 destinations, and multiple industry awards, we're proud to be one of the UK's leading villa holiday specialists. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a calm, customer-focused and solutions-driven Holiday Helpline Executive to join our Operations team.
Holidays don't always go exactly to plan, and that's where you come in.
As a Holiday Helpline Executive, you'll be a vital point of contact for guests who need support while they're away. Whether you're helping to resolve an issue at a villa, coordinating with overseas teams and suppliers, or providing reassurance during unexpected situations, you'll play a key role in protecting the guest experience and finding practical solutions.
You'll manage guest cases from start to finish, ensuring issues are handled professionally, efficiently and with genuine care. You'll work closely with our overseas teams, villa owners, suppliers and internal colleagues to resolve problems and keep guests informed every step of the way.
No two days are the same. One moment you could be helping organise an urgent maintenance response, and the next you could be providing support during a travel disruption or updating important guest information.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, stay calm under pressure and enjoy helping people, we'd love to hear from you.
To apply, please provide your CV and covering letter. We aim to respond within 7 days.
We are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all candidates feel welcomed and supported. To ensure everyone has an equal opportunity throughout the application process, we welcome you to get in touch. Our team is here to assist you at every step, whether you require additional information, or support to navigate the application process. We believe that promoting diversity and inclusion enriches our organisation, and we are committed to helping all candidates showcase their talents and potential - [email protected]
